Monday, 26 July 2004

I remember it clearly. It was a cold February morning and I had been 15 for barely 3 months. I was in the Land of Nod dreaming of winning the Ms America Pageant. I was sternly awoken by very frantic and loud knocking on my door.

Sleepily, I got out of bed accepting a bouquet of flowers, woke up and opened the door. There on the end of my dads out-stretched arm was a pornographic picture glaring me in the face. “What is this?!”  he yelled. My sleeping ears rang like a pair of dirty underpants. He had obviously accidentally come across it on the computer and decided that just looking wasn’t humiliating enough. Instead he printed a top 5.


Jonny

I was promptly marched in my underwear down to the kitchen where mum sat smoking. “What’s this?” she asked. Fear seeped through my underwear as I answered “Porn?”, the classic “I don't know what it is” answer of a guilty boy. “What are you doing looking at this kind of stuff?”. Could questioning in my house get any more direct and personal? How about you ask for my penis size? “Are you gay?”'. Silence can speak a thousand words and I could see my dad’s eyes well and his face become red. “It’s OK if you are, you know” mum reassured. My heart was pounding for the few minutes until I released a whimpering “yes” I peered round the room and dad had his back to me pouring a cup of tea. Why? Why oh why did we buy a house that was structurally sound? I wanted a huge girder to come crashing down on me, but instead the net curtains brushed my leg lovingly. “Its OK!” mum exclaimed “We’ve already accepted it” at that point I swear to god her nose grew at least 6 foot. I was allowed to scamper back to my bed where I lay there for a good four hours starring at the ceiling. It took my mum a month or so to adjust to the change to which she is now clued up on gay life and she has embraced it with open arms. Dad, however, is still standing in the kitchen pouring a cup of tea. He never accepted me and we now lead separate lives.

I'm out to most people I know now except my dad and relatives on his side of the family cos I'm guessing that he'll be like Jonny's dad and not be able to accept it, but I'm happy with the way things are at the moment. =) 
Dads always seem to take it the hardest though it's weird.

I told my best mate a couple of years ago and she told me i was disgusting and it was a pahase. But of course i knew It wasent. :cry So i have chose not to tell anyone else for the fear of the same thing happening! I wish i could but am scared my dad is dead homophobic!

something like this happened to me too. Except, i managed to convince my parents i was just curious. they still dont trust me (and it happened 4 years ago). i wish i had the guts to tell them, but i think they would probably go crazy.

My dad still isn't too happy about who I am, and even though he talks like everything is ok, it's simple to tell that he wishes I wasn't. My mom said she knew, but I find that hard to believe since she went all :x REALLY?!

I just don't know how to come out to my mom (who would be fine with it) because we're really not that close. I told most of my friends which was easy cuz about half of them are gay/lesbian/bi themselves. Plus, they had already suspected. But... How would I bring it up with my mom. "Hey you know how my best friend Ellen is bi? Well so am I. SURPRISE!" Aghhhh, I don't know

need help:( im 13, bi, need a way to come out to my mum(who is fine with it i think...) and my extreemly homophobic grandparents...:( really confuzing would love some help people:)

to be honest there is two sides to my situation; to some degree i wish i never came out, to be frank people treat me differently and though they try it makes me feel uncomfortable, but on the other hand the freedom it gives you to be who you are is amazing.  
 
+for staying closeted while your young....means guys can stay the night :P 
 
one thing i simply cannot stress enough is that dont come out too soon live out your teen years experiencing the joys of life on both sides. then later on you will obviously be more sure in yourself and your sexuality, most parents say this in the hope you\'ll turn out straight as did my mum, but i ended up coming out much later and it was great, by that stage my parents were fine about it. 
 
my dad was the coolest about it, although i got a sex talk from him, THAT was weird as he is a doctor and i got an aids and protection talk LOL. soooooo awkward. my mum still acts funny about it, kinda makes me sad sometimes. but i suppose it is a hard thing to come to grips with. give your parents time, it really isnt an easy thing. they were brought up believing homosexuality is an evil thing, and lived through an era where alot of gay men died from aids, and naturally the only thing parents want is whats best for their kids. if you just be yourself and talk with them about such things im sure you can get a more positive outlook on life. 
 
my way was telling brothers and sisters first, then best friends, after that my mum. really parents shouldnt be told first as they\'re reactions can be spiteful and can really hurt you sometimes, its god to have someone to talk too.  
 
in finishing it is your choice; only come out when your comfortable in yourself. 8)

I wish i could say i had a mam that was tha cool, my mam always says she is open minded but when it comes to dealing with any problems she runs, my dad would hunt me down if he found out...parents might say that it's fine to be gay but as soon as its their own kids its a whole different story :( but i've started planning for the big day where i stop living a lie :D hope my mam will be as cool as yours ^^

i kept going to leeds and my mum clicked on why i was going, she didnt tell ym dad and she was upset, few weeks ago i found out while my mum and dad was argueing about divorce that my dad knew about me being gay and he said he doesnt see my any differant and that he will support me in whatever i decided to do, its a shame how parents cannot support they own kids, its not our fault that we arnt always the perfect people they want us to be, is anyone perfect, they should accept how you are and be proud of you no matter what.

I have yet to come out. I recently came to terms with my sexuality and it gets harder every day to hear my parents mention girls. For me growing up Roman Catholic it is even harder to figure out how my parents will react to the news. It is their loss if they can't accept me.
